I'm really excited with this. It is the first time I managed to squat more than my body weight, and considering the high reps and the fact that it was after a series of other squat sets, suggests that I'm nowhere near my max. I am reluctant to try much more over my body weight without a spotter to check my form and for safety's sake. Nevertheless, I'm pretty happy with the results. Firefighter test is to be able to lift 170lbs on your back, so I think I'm good with that. I want to be able to carry an average human male, so I think I should aim for around 180 to 200 lbs, which doesn't seem out of reach at this point, especially if I only have to do it once.
